The hillsides face towards the south or the south-west and consist of gravels, clay and sand on calcareous base. They are bordered by the Landes forest and are crossed by Ciron (small local river) which creates the ideal microclimate for the development of the botrytis cinerea on the grapes.The harvest is made with successive selections according to the state of maturation of the grapes and the evolution of the noble rot (botrytis cinerea).

We booked a tour with the winery and were a bit late, but they were able to accommodate us, even though we missed the first part of the tour. Then we were joined by the rest of the group and continued with the tour, followed by amazing tasting with some food pairing. Even though we are familiar with Sauternes wine and are big fans of it, we still learned a few new things about it and tasting did push my limits on blue cheese - I'm not a big fan of it, but I could not NOT do this pairing when in Sauternes. And that tasted really good! You have to try their wines.

Beyond the beautiful property and the super amazing delicious wines, this is a grand cru classe of 1855, and it is the only singular Premier grand cru in Sauternes. Definitely worth a visit.
